title: Optimization of Campylobacter growth conditions for further identification by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).
abstract: Growth conditions - including growth medium and incubation temperature - may influence the identification of Campylobacter by MALDI-TOF MS. For each bacterial species, medical microbiologists should be aware of such potential influences on spectral data before analyzing and interpreting MALDI-TOF MS results.
